The troops stationed in the four towns of Anxi went smoothly, and Emperor Ming was very satisfied with this.The weather was already cold that day, after dismissing the imperial court, Emperor Ming took Lu Youlin and went to the Yulin Army's school ground without making a sound.

Lang Huai returned to the army today, just in time for the Imperial Forest Army's winter hunting competition.Although the chief commander Wei Qianyi is her uncle and master, he is still strict with her.

"Although you are just recovering from illness, if you want to do a solid job as the captain of the Shangqi, you have to work hard in today's competition." Wei Qianyi didn't say that he would take the school exam in person, and arranged for his own soldiers to give her a number, and sat in a chair Come on, have tea and watch.

How could Lang Huai not know about his uncle's temper?She sang promises honestly, asked Dabi's rules from the side, and stood below waiting to go on stage.After two months of self-cultivation, Lang Huai became much thinner.But she stood there, really like a pine and cypress.

When it was Lang Huai's turn to play, she was not polite.He just tied the imperial-given Pure Jun Sword to his waist, took out his usual Tibetan Spring Spear, and made a gesture of invitation to his opponent.Suddenly there was the sound of weapons clashing on the field, and the general smashed at Lang Huai with a long axe.At first, he was afraid that Lang Huai would use the sword. It would be a serious crime if he injured the Yuci sword.But now he let go of his hands and feet and sent out his fierce axe, completely ignoring Lang Huai's identity.

Lang Huai called out, tapped his toes, and stepped back while blocking.There was a strong force from the pole, and it hit Lang Huai's tiger's mouth directly, and he almost couldn't hold the Tibetan spring.She admired it from the bottom of her heart, but she was also unambiguous.The Tibetan spring is like a swimming dragon, stabbing or pointing, making the opponent flustered.Later, the general became more aggressive and flew the ax straight out. The wind was so strong that if he hit it, he would be slightly injured if he broke a bone.

But she saw Lang Huai's footsteps made a mistake, and she pulled a thousand catties four or two times. The point of Zangquan's spear hit the back of the axe. She swiped under the axe with her whole body, changing her moves very quickly, and swept the opponent's throat with her tail.Knowing that Lang Huai didn't gesture with the tip of his spear in the end, the general gave himself enough face, readily admitted defeat, picked up his axe, and the two looked at each other with a smile, and said in a rough voice: "I, Tuoba, admire heroes the most, Lang Du Wei, I'll treat you to a drink later!"

"I don't drink it if it's not spirits." Lang Huai agreed, and after confirming with the clerk, he stepped off the stage.

In the pavilion far away, Emperor Ming smiled and said with a long beard: "This child, he really compares my son. He shows his sharpness, but he knows how to measure. There are neighbors, what do you think?"

"You're joking, how can this old slave see it?" It was rare for Lu Youlin to see Emperor Ming so happy, he could probably guess what Emperor Ming was thinking, and reminded him slightly: "However, Captain Lang will only be eighteen in the coming year. They say they haven't engaged yet. There are quite a few people in Chang'an who want to marry Captain Lang."

Emperor Ming naturally knew who Lu Youlin was referring to, thought for a while, and said: "It's okay for men to do it later, but Gucheng is also seventeen, so we can't delay any longer. You should pay attention to suitable children, Better find someone polite."

These words cut off the possibility of Lang Huai becoming a son-in-law, Lu Youlin responded, and followed Ming Emperor's eyes, the school grounds were once again killing and attacking.

Lang Huai sat firmly on the horse's back, holding the hidden spring with both hands, and in just two rounds, he knocked his opponent off the horse.But she herself didn't even catch her breath, she only exerted force on her calf, and the war horse stopped.Pei Qing rode out at this time, and said to Lang Huai, "I will be the leader of the Imperial Forest Army, Wei You, Deputy Commander Pei Qing, and I ask Captain Lang to give me some advice."

Lang Huai narrowed his eyes and said, "It's easy to say."

Pei Qing could see that Lang Huai was not easy to provoke, but as a member of the Pei family, he naturally hated the person who took away the son of Duke Mu.In the school competition, even if she was beaten to death, Emperor Ming could only cure him of a minor crime, so he prepared his hidden weapon and waited until today to get rid of this scourge.

He was merciless in his strikes, and the long-handled Mo Dao went straight to greet Lang Huai's vitals.Lang Huai evaded a few tricks, and his anger also came up. No matter how merciless, he only showed half of the killing momentum on the battlefield, making it difficult for Pei Qing to parry.After ten or so rounds, Lang Huai made a false move and knocked down Pei Qing's weapon.It stands to reason that Pei Qing lost.Who would have thought that his stature is so small, he raised his hand and released all the sleeve arrows.

Lang Huai could only hear the strong wind behind him, knowing that it was too late to turn around and resist.Amidst the exclamation of the crowd, Lang Huai pulled out the Chun Jun sword from his waist, and backhanded a few sword flowers, only heard four ding ding ding ding, and saw four sleeve arrows hit the ground.Lang Huai got off his horse and turned his face to the side, with blood stains on his cheeks.She turned her head back, put the sword back into its sheath, took off the strong bow from the horse, and fired three arrows in succession without missing a beat.The first arrow hit Pei Qing's hair, the second arrow pierced Pei Qing's right palm, and the third arrow hit Pei Qing's throat!

This is going to kill someone!Before the people around could exclaim, the arrow fell to the ground.At the critical moment, Lang Huai cut off the tip of the arrow, leaving only the body of the arrow.Lang Huai spit out the last sleeve arrow from his mouth and snorted coldly.She draws her sword and changes her bow, only in the blink of an eye.Pei Qing's sleeve arrow flew out, and everyone only thought that the young riding captain might have to take another leave to recuperate from his injuries. After she resolved the crisis, before everyone calmed down, Lang Huai had already made his opponent suffer.

Emperor Ming in the distance saw this and finally made up his mind.He said: "Your neighbor, let's go and have a look." Lang Huaineng spared Pei Qing's life when he was furious, which is why Emperor Ming valued her more.

Pei Qing's face was ashen, and the last arrow struck the sky. He really felt that he was going to die.Hearing Lang Huai's sarcasm: "It turns out that hidden weapons can also be used in the Grand Competition of the Yulin Military Academy, but he is ignorant. It seems that at the border, he is not as good as the elite soldiers in Chang'an City." He wanted to reply, but his throat was hurt , Coughing, unable to spit out a word.

Everyone was still waiting to be persuaded, Lu Youlin shouted: "The Holy Majesty is here!" Before the Emperor Ming arrived, the voice came first: "Lieutenant Lang, I don't know that you are so sharp-tongued!"

Wei Qianyi raised his eyes to look at his nephew, and went to meet him first.After Emperor Ming sat down, the commander-in-chief said: "Your Majesty, you should have seen the school competition today."

Emperor Ming knew that he was well-rounded, otherwise he would not be able to be a great commander in the imperial forest army with many factions.He nodded and said: "I watched a few games, but I don't know who will win the first place."

"Where is the clerk?" Wei Qianyi called the clerk, asked him to count, and replied: "Currently the top three are Shangqi Duwei Langhuai, Jinwu Guard Tuoba Yiyang, and prison guard Liu Quanying."

Emperor Ming nodded and said with a smile: "I don't know how Commander Wei plans to rank them?"

Wei Qian said easily: "I am in front of Your Majesty, so I won't be playing tricks. Please ask your Majesty to give them a question. I think it will be better than my Majesty's."

Emperor Ming took off a jade pendant from his waist, and whispered to Lu Youlin for a moment.After hearing this, Lu Youlin responded, greeted several small internal officials, and hung the jade pendant on the big flagpole in the middle of the school grounds.

"The three of you can choose five helpers. Whoever can take off my jade pendant the fastest and send it to me will be the first in this competition." Ming Huang sat down and said, " But if no one can take it down within half an hour, there will be three more grooms feeding the horses in the stables of the Royal Forest Army!"

The three of them handed over their hands and went to choose soldiers.Lang Huai looked at it, and randomly selected four people from the Imperial Forest Army, plus Tao Jun, making up five people.Tuoba Yiyang and Liu Quanying have been here for a long time, and they selected elite soldiers from their own guards, so they both felt that no matter how brave Lang Huai was, this competition would inevitably be at a disadvantage.

The discussion was settled, and with the sound of a gong, the final competition began.

"Qian Yi, who do you think is likely to win the jade pendant?" Ming Huang looked at the audience, but his energy was all focused on Lang Huai.Wei Qianyi was unbiased and replied: "I think that the chances of winning in the whole of England are the highest. Tuoba is more than brave, but not enough in debate. Langhuai has no one to reconcile, and this battle is unpredictable."

"I don't know why, but I feel that Lang Huai must be successful." Ming Huang glanced over, and Wei Qianyi was extremely surprised by the look on his face.

Lang Huai stood still and walked around the school field with his five helpers from a distance.But Tuoba really relied on his own bravery and rushed to the stage first, intending to take off the jade pendant.The soldiers he chose were all tall and tall, one against ten, keeping Liu Quanying's men at the periphery.The two groups of people fought, and the audience became one.

Liu Quanying did not step forward, but only commanded with the command flag.As soon as his semaphore changed, two people immediately gave up the fight and jumped onto the stage leaning on their bodies.At this time, Lang Huai's people had all mounted their horses.

Tao Jun led the two of them away on horseback, Lang Huai opened his strong bow again, and shot down the hanging jade pendant with one arrow.She is too brave, and she is not afraid of breaking the jade pendant.The arrow was really accurate, and the jade pendant fell in front of Liu Quanying's soldiers who had just stepped on the stage, and was subconsciously copied and held in the palm of his hand.

But before he had time to be proud, Tuoba Yiyang rushed over like a hill, and snatched the jade pendant away.He yelled, "Open the way!"

The situation changed again.Liu Quanying couldn't resist Tuoba at all, even the war horse was so frightened by this general's axe that he stood up.The rest wanted to catch up, but those led by Tao Jun beat their legs with spears and couldn't stand up for a while.

At this time, the two people beside Lang Huai also rode out.The two of them were not close, only relying on Zangquan's length, they kept attacking Tuoba's legs.But Tuoba couldn't hit the two on the horse, he wanted to repeat the same trick, but the opponent backed away and opened the distance, which really annoyed him.

In just a moment, Tuoba was out of breath.These two people threw away the postscript and joined Tao Jun's team to intercept the rest, but they were merciless in their strikes, and they would only give up if they beat them until they couldn't stand up.

Lang Huai waited in front of Tuoba with a sword in his hand, Lang Huai saw him coming, and said with a smile: "Brother Tuoba, I never thought we would have to fight again so soon."

Tuoba was not annoyed, he liked Lang Huai quite a bit.But a soldier should not give up just because of a momentary preference, so he said with a smile: "Brother Lang, I know that I am not your opponent. But as long as I don't let go, if you don't get the jade pendant, we will all have to go to the stables to be grooms. , Tuoba I am not at a loss."

Lang Huai waited for his breathing to subside before raising his sword, and said: "It's useless to talk, little brother will do it now. If you offend me, I'll ask Brother Tuoba to drink his fill!"

After all, she rushed up with a sword flower.With sharp sharpness, Chun Jun swept towards Tuoba's left hand holding the jade pendant.Tuoba turned sharply and smashed across with the axe.Lang Huai quickly changed her move from sweeping to stabbing, and tapped on the side of the axe. She jumped up behind Tuoba with her strength, and attacked Tuoba's vest with her sword like a shadow.

In the blink of an eye, the two exchanged several moves. Lang Huai moved flexibly, jumping up and down, intending to force Tuoba to let go.But Tuoba has a staunch temperament, even if his hand is broken, he will never let go.Lang Huai couldn't bear his injury, so he changed his moves again and again. Seeing that half of the time had passed, the two fought inextricably.

Seeing this, Tao Jun in the distance yelled: "Master, we can't hold on for long!" It turned out that Lang Huai had ordered that he could only hurt, not hurt.Those people endured the pain and went to fetch the horses one after another.

Lang Huai's expression changed, and he shouted in a low voice: "Get up!" She swung her long sword horizontally, shrank her body, and seemed to be throwing herself into Tuoba's arms.Unexpectedly, Tuoba subconsciously retracted his ax for protection.Lang Huai slapped Tuoba's left wrist with the side of the sword, although Tuoba was wearing heavy armor and was protected by hand armor.

Lang Huai bent down to fish it out, supported himself on the ground with the blade of the sword, and jumped onto the horse with two run-ups. He didn't forget to shout: "I'm sorry, brother Tuoba, but I'll go first." Since she got on the horse, whoever Can't catch up.

Emperor Ming took over the jade pendant, and immediately gave Lang Huai the right to enter the Qianniu Guard and lead a thousand people.In this big competition, Lang Huai was in the limelight, even if he offended Pei Qing severely, Li Qian's wooing of her continued unabated.

The twelfth lunar month was approaching, and on this day Lang Huai was on duty in the palace, and Emperor Ming sent an oral order to summon her.She has a special order to bring Chunjun into the palace, so no one will check her and follow the internal officials to Linde Hall.

After she entered the hall, she didn't dare to look around, she just stood upright and performed the ceremony honestly.

Emperor Ming looked at her and said: "There will be winter hunting in the future, and your father handed over the booklet due to illness, saying that he can't go, do you know?"

Lang Huai was taken aback, and replied: "Father's old injury broke out, and I have already told my ministers to obey Commander Wei's military orders, so as to protect the emperor, and there must be no mistakes."

Emperor Ming took the pill from Concubine Liang, swallowed it with tea, and said, "Your father is good at everything, but he is too old and timid. This year, Ming Da came to ask me, and wants to participate in the winter hunting. She is going to celebrate her birthday soon, so why would I be reluctant to agree to her. Lang Huai, you should lead two hundred elite soldiers to accompany Mingda's winter hunting guards, and you must protect Mingda's safety."

Lang Huai hurriedly knelt down to accept the order. She had heard Li Yumingda talk about it the day before yesterday, but she didn't expect that it was not Li Yu who was protecting her, but herself.She waited and waited, and Emperor Ming didn't give any more orders before retiring and leaving.When he was leaving, he only saw a woman in a palace costume standing next to Emperor Ming from the corner of his eyes. She had an extremely beautiful face, and she must have been Concubine Liang Gui.

"Your Majesty really dotes on Mingda. Isn't it a pity that such a person is only used as a guard for Mingda?" Concubine Liang is a plump woman who is full of charms. She really wants to facilitate the marriage between Gu Cheng and Lang Huai. But knowing that direct remonstrance is only afraid that Emperor Ming will be suspicious, so he retreats as an advance, Jiao Didi said: "Your Majesty, Mingda is almost fourteen years old, otherwise I will give it to Captain Lang. The concubine looked at this child, really OK."

Emperor Ming was noncommittal, and said: "Mingda is still young, and my headache is the marriage in Gucheng."

"There are so many young talents in Chang'an City, I really can't see anyone who is higher than Lang Huai, hey." As soon as Emperor Ming said this, Concubine Liang only said that he intended to betroth Gu Cheng to Lang Huai, and her face beamed with joy. , I won’t talk much anymore.
